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.

Lower Little River
The Lower Little River is a 23-mile long stream located in North Carolina, USA. It flows through the counties of Harnett and Cumberland and is a tributary of the Cape Fear River. The river has a rich history that dates back to the Native Americans who inhabited the area. Today, the Lower Little River is a popular recreational spot for kayaking, fishing, and camping. The river is also used for agricultural irrigation, and there are several reservoirs and dams along its course, including the Buies Creek Reservoir and the Raven Rock Dam. The hydrology of the Lower Little River is influenced by the Cape Fear River Basin, and the water quality is monitored regularly to ensure it remains safe for recreational and agricultural use.

About the Lower Little River
Where does the data for the Lower Little 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.
