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.

Hubbard River
The Hubbard River is a tributary of the Farmington River, located in western Massachusetts and Connecticut. The river flows for approximately 22 miles before merging with the Farmington River in Connecticut. The Hubbard River has a rich history dating back to the 1600s, when it was used for transportation and fishing by Native American tribes. Today, the river is primarily used for recreation, with activities such as fishing, kayaking, and hiking being popular. The river also provides water for agricultural irrigation and hydroelectric power, with the Goodwin Dam and Reservoir being the largest source of hydroelectric power on the river. Other dams and reservoirs include the Saville Dam and Reservoir and the Colebrook River Lake Dam and Reservoir.

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