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.

Jarbidge River
The Jarbidge River is a 50-mile-long tributary of the Bruneau River in Nevada and Idaho. It flows through the Jarbidge Wilderness and is known for its rugged and scenic terrain. The river has a significant history as it was the site of a controversial environmental battle in the 1990s over the construction of a dam. The river is fed by snowmelt and springs, and its flow is highly seasonal, with peak flows occurring in May and June. There are no significant reservoirs or dams on the main stem of the river, although there are small irrigation diversions for agriculture. The river is popular for fishing and whitewater rafting, and the surrounding area is a popular destination for camping and hiking.
Recreation along the Jarbidge River
Fishing access and paddle runs Snoflo tracks within the watershed.
Track the Jarbidge River in the Snoflo app
Set per-gauge push alerts (e.g. "alert me when flow at the Russian R Nr Healdsburg crosses 5,000 cfs"), and Snoflo's iOS app pushes the moment USGS reports the crossing.
About the Jarbidge River
Where does the data for the Jarbidge 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.
