Hatchie River river
Total streamflow across the Hatchie River was last observed at 4,581 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 9,086 acre-ft of water today; about 103% of normal. Average streamflow for this time of year is 4,456 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2025-04-07 when daily discharge volume was observed at 95,400 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Hatchie River At Rialto reporting a streamflow rate of 2,840 cfs. However, the streamgauge with the highest stage along the river is the Hatchie River At Bolivar with a gauge stage of 10.95 ft. This river is monitored from 3 different streamgauging stations along the Hatchie River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 381 ft, the Hatchie River Near Walnut.

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.

Hatchie River
The Hatchie River is a 238-mile-long river in western Tennessee that flows from the northern Mississippi border into the Mississippi River. It has a long history of flooding and was once a vital transportation route for early settlers. Today, the river is mostly used for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching. The Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge provides habitat for many species of wildlife and is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts. There are several reservoirs and dams along the river, including the 11,000-acre Carroll County Lake, which provides water for irrigation and drinking. The Hatchie River also supports a variety of agricultural uses, including cotton and soybean farming. Despite its importance to the local economy and ecosystem, the Hatchie River is threatened by pollution and habitat destruction caused by human activities.

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