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.

Lamprey River
The Lamprey River flows through southeastern New Hampshire, originating in Northwood and flowing into the Great Bay Estuary. The river is approximately 50 miles long and has historically been an important resource for both recreational and agricultural purposes. However, the construction of dams and mills along the river caused significant ecological damage, leading to the decline of native fish populations. The Lamprey River is now home to several hydroelectric dams, including the Pawtuckaway Dam and the Newmarket Dam. The river is also used for recreational activities such as kayaking, fishing, and hiking along its banks. Additionally, the watershed is home to several agricultural operations, including dairy and vegetable farms. Conservation efforts have been made to restore the river's natural ecosystems, including the removal of dams and the reintroduction of native fish species.

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 Lamprey River
Where does the data for the Lamprey 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.
